Darren glanced at Jay as the other looked towards his hand. He didn't move it. "Uh," Darren muttered, and pulled his hand back. "S-Sorry, I'll, uh, just go do that now." He felt his face heating up and he stood up straight away and faced the other direction to move the wood around. He bit his lip and stood with his arms crossed.

Jay chuckled, despite the redness that also bloomed on his cheeks. He ran his fingers through his recently washed hair, happy that it wasn't grimy and greasy as it had been before. Darrens touch still lingered even when he moved away. Jay scratched the back of his head, the awkward silence between them causing him to shift uncomfortably.

Darren fixed the pile of wood into a nice little bundle and lifted one of the already burning logs to light the new fire. He placed it down slowly when he was done and went back to sit next to Jay. His cheeks were still red, but he was pretty sure that the flames might have died them out a little. He glanced over at Jay and swallowed, curiosity building in his mind. "Hey, can I ask you something?"

Jay lifted his eyes to meet Darren's, his hands perched in his lap as he looked at him. "Uh....yeah sure, what is it?" He asked, a twinge of curiosity pulling at his gut. He watched Darren with his deep blue eyes, wrapping his arms around one of his legs as he pulled it to his chest.

Jay felt his whole face burn, and he was pretty sure it wasn't the fire that Darren had set up. He turned his head away, not meeting Darren's gaze as he clutched his leg to his chest. "Uh....well...." He swallowed, staring at the ground. "I've never really dated anyone to know but....er....i think i'm okay with both genders," He bit his lip, still not looking at Darren "Why do you ask?" He questioned, his stomach doing somersaults.

Darren nodded to himself and glanced away, not wanting Jay to feel anymore awkward than he already did. He could feel it. "I just, uh, I wanted to know." He bit his lip and ground his teeth together. "You know, curiosity... and whatnot."

Jay nodded, his eyes finding their way back to look at Darren "Okay, well, uh yeah. I guess you could say i'm bi...." He shrugged like it wasn't a big deal, but he could still feel the heat that had settled on his cheeks. He played with a lose thread on his shirt.

Darren glanced over towards Jay and saw that the other boy was looking at him. "I'm gay," he blurted out, and then turned his face away. He had no idea what was coming over him, but he couldn't control his mouth and before he knew it - "Earlier when you were in the water, I kept glancing at you. I'm sorry. Dear Lord, why am I telling you. What is wrong with me."

Jay's mouth fell open as he looked at Darren. He felt himself blush uncontrollably. "Oh no, it's um....fine. Funny thing is i was kind of peeking at you too..." He admitted, feeling his heart pounding in his chest. "Sorry," He added in a mumble, feeling so embarrassed he thought he could die.
